LilSparky's Workshop

Whether this project is out of date or its author marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

If you wish to take this project over, please report it and state your intentions.

LilSparky's Workshop adds auction-derived pricing information for trade skills right into the trade skill recipe frame. Each skill is evaluated for material costs and potential value of the item created. These two numbers are listed next to each skill in an easy-to-read format.

Supported Auction Scanners:

Auctioneer

AuctionLite

AuctionMaster

Auctionator

Optionally Requires:

Informant (for vendor availability)

LibPeriodicTable (for vendor availability)

Trade Skill Interfaces Supported:

GnomeWorks

AdvancedTradeSkillWindow

Skillet

Blizzard's Standard UI

Doublewide Tradeskills

Tradeskill HD

Auction pricing models can be selected by right-clicking either the value column or the cost column (each can have a different pricing method attached).

The Value column can be left clicked to cycle through the different valuation methods for the resultant item: Auction Value (a), Vendor Value (v), Disenchant Value (d) or the greatest of the three different values (the default). Any instance of an item Value being greater than the Cost to create it will have a highlighted Value entry. Optionally, the Value column can be displayed as a percentage of the Cost column.

The Cost column simply sums up the costs for each reagent and reports the total.

Both columns can be combined into a single "Profit" column which simply reflects the Value minus the Cost.

Tooltips for each column give more details about the price breakdowns LSW is considering.

A note regarding vendor availability:

LSW utilizes supplied item databases to determine when an item is readily available from a vendor. Occasionally this may not be accurate, usually because the item is a trade in for another item and not buyable with gold. I have provided a simple way to over-ride the vendor database:

/script LSWConfig.vendorOverride[item#] = (true/false/nil)

The item# is the item ID for the specific item. It is a single number. For example, 2589 is Linen Cloth.
Setting the value to "true" means the item is available at the vendor.
Setting the value to "false" means the item is not available at the vendor.
Setting the value to "nil" means to use the provided databse.

There is now also a right-click option to override the vendor availability and also to hand enter specific prices for items.

A note about frame/auction support:

LSW utilizes a plug in scheme to handle support to handle pricing and frame support. I am unlikely to add additional plugins directly into LSW. The goal of the plugin system is to provide basic templates that other addon authors could employ to provide LSW support on their end while at the same time providing functionality for a base set of common mods. Addon authors are free to contact me regarding the plugin system if issues arise or the system doens't make sense.

FYI Curse Client, from the Find an Addon tab search, indicates this was last updated 2009/02/02. Normally, projects should syndicate in < 15 minutes (iirc) so there may be an issue, though I'm unsure if it's on the Curse Client side, or something specific to this project. When downloading through the client however, the correct current version from today gets installed.

Correspondingly, the project page at curse.com matches that 2009/02/02 date.

But now I have what could be a dumb question. I used to be able to see the required levels of crafted items on the left, coloured in their particular quality/rarity (this is with ATSW). Have I somehow turned this off, or removed a dependency, or is this something that got removed during the re-write that you're working on a way to reimplement?

I'm lost without it, and I don't know if I accidentally removed the functionality when I was spring cleaning my addons.

I am using auctioneer and ATSW. It is also happening with other tradeskills. The slowdown doesnt start to happen until the caching bar finishes...the tradeskills is not useless...if you keep clicking, it will eventually detect the clicks and do something...but still at single digit fps.

I have a similar problem...it doesn't matter if I have leatherworking, cooking, or first aid open. Once the lsw scan completes, fps is around 5...I usually am able to get 60 fps.
I use Advanced Trade Skill Window & Auctioneer

The latest build is causing me problems with enchanting...once the cache bar finishes, something seems to be going in a loop cause my frame rate quickly drops to single digits...i am gonna clear my wtf and blow out all other addons to make sure it is LSW...but turning it off causes the problem to go away
